The number of confirmed cases of canine influenza in Michigan has spiked to 70 reported to the state since mid-July, according to the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development.

The statewide tally, last updated on Aug. 3, shows Oakland, Macomb and Ottawa counties as the hot spots for this highly-contagious dog flu. A handful of other counties are reporting a smaller number of cases. The climbing caseload is a large jump from 2017, which saw only nine cases reported to the state.
